Siloxanes are pivotal in silicone chemistry due to their distinctive Si-O-Si bond functional group, which forms the backbone of various compounds, including oligomeric and polymeric hydrides with the formulae H(OSiH2)nOH and (OSiH2)n. These structures can include linear or branched compounds, where each pair of silicon centers is separated by an oxygen atom. A prime example of a siloxane-based material is polydimethylsiloxane. Additionally, the functional group (RO)3Si is known as siloxy, contributing to the versatility and applicability of siloxanes in various industrial and chemical applications.
